Product Description At long last here?s the Freeheat album that almost never was. Exploding on to a hi-fi near you is the first full-length album from the band who count The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Gun Club and Earl Brutus amongst their pedigree. Featuring sessions recorded at the Mary Chain?s infamous Drugstore, along with classic live tracks from the Paradiso, Amsterdam. Back On The Water is guaranteed to thrill you to your rock?n?roll core. The live moments are breathtaking and beautifully raw whilst Freeheat?s studio exploration visits brisk distorted multi-layered melodic blasts of sound. It?s a stripped down affair but make no mistake, it reaffirms Jim Reid & Company?s knack for writing the timeless perfect pop song - think Andy Warhol and absinth or a new pop-art for the new century.

CD ReviewsFollowing form of The Jesus & Mary Chain R. Dyer | Walled Lake, MI United States | 07/01/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "After listening to William Reid's pathetic solo debut as lazycame on finbegin, it's hard to understand why most of jamc "hit" singles were penned by him. Here comes Jim Reid's debut full length as freeheat and it sounds as if it is a reincarntaion of one of the most overlooked bands from the 80's-90's. The jamc sound still lives on in this album and I would strongly encourage you to make the purchase of this exceptional CD. It's chock full of the trademark distortion, pure power pop songcraft and attitude. He brings along Romi Mori (Gun Club), Ben Lurie and Nick Sanderson. Don't get freaked by all the live tracks, it definately gives the release a rawer edge. IF YOU LOVE THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN, YOU'LL LOVE THIS!!!!" Face the facts alexander laurence | Los Angeles, CA | 09/25/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was hanging in NYC back in 2000. I was at the CMJ festival. I was checking out this new band called Freeheat. I noticed they sounded a lot like Jesus and the Mary Chain. The lead singer looked like Jim Reid. Hey! It was he. Later I was talking to Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre. Apparently he was at the show too. He felt like that they were too much like JAMC. There were other bands around like Spiritualized and Lupine Howl who had moved on. Freeheat is like JAMC JR. There are some live tracks and some studio stuff. This band has been around for eight years but they haven't released many records. Most of this material comes from a show in 2004. Some of those live songs like "What Goes Around" and "Facing Up To The Facts" are excellent. "Get On Home" is cool studio track. Some songs are doubled. That's okay. It's a schizophrenic record. Fans of Jim Reid should like this record. It's good to have Freeheat still around. I am burning up." I have to be realistic here David N. Knottnerus | Somewhere in Iraq | 07/27/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "I love the Mary Chain, I love all their albums, but Freeheat just hasn't delevered. They released the same EP twice, and then This comes out what almost 6 years after. the Studio songs are great, the live stuff is so-so but truth be told, the bass line sounds the same on most of the songs. the "Dead End Kids" single is great and the single he did with Sister Vanilla is way more satisfying. I like the album don't get me wrong, But I would like to see Jim sit down and make an album, not a song here and there when it hits him and then put a bunch of filler together to make and album.
In the end it sounds alot like rehashes of MUNKI and the thing that made the Mary Chain great was that every album sounded different from the last. " |
